Materially and metaphorically, representations dissolve under a multitude of strategies that include sanding, stenciling, casting, and extruding, as well as more traditional modes of application by brush. The result of this ouroboric process is LONG SWEET GONE, a series of hallucinogenic abstractions that at times feel solid and sculptural like a stucco wall and at others like a gossamer curtain undulating in a soft breeze.In navigating the history of painting as well as her own excessive processes of repetition and erasure, time emerges as a conceit in Benson’s work; viewer and artist are together suspended in geological, art historical, personal, and anthropocenic time scales materialized in paint. <img width="1500" height="1125" width_o="1500" height_o="1125" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5d168742191c4ee49b629e6173b0bc47f8c6b15df5ef51a670fc6ee5fa1b40b1/F8848BF8-8737-4D57-BCA5-F77C0BB95B30.jpg" data-mid="161771667" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5d168742191c4ee49b629e6173b0bc47f8c6b15df5ef51a670fc6ee5fa1b40b1/F8848BF8-8737-4D57-BCA5-F77C0BB95B30.jpg" /> STATEMENT2020My process has become a type of chaos management. I strive to create a painting that plays with the viewer’s comprehension of space, form, and illusion by complicating the visual pathways. I am a materialist who is continually fascinated with the processes of painting. I utilize a myriad of different techniques including but not limited to brushing, spraying, sanding, scraping, rubbing and printing. Along with the mechanics I am equally interested in the history of painting. Currently, I am looking back to the 17th century Dutch still-life genre, in particular the paintings by Maria van Oosterwijck, for both their array of metaphors and formal configurations, and even further back to the Etruscan tomb paintings from 4th century BCE for their rich and distressed surfaces suggesting ideas of loss, decay, and transformation. By referencing these sources and delving deep into process, I consider my own conceptual concerns in order to build my personal painting language. Although, these themes might at first seem disparate, they are deep rooted, and offer an endless array of problems to discover. https://kimbenson.net/News-1 Tue, 15 Jan 2019 04:41:38 +0000 Kim Benson Artist https://kimbenson.net/News-1 News -&nbsp;Kim Benson: New PaintingsTOA Presents is thrilled to announce Kim Benson: New Paintings, the inaugural exhibition at the gallery's new and expanded location in Northeast Minneapolis.

Re-adding (after Maria van Oosterwijk) will be on view at the corner of Case and Edgerton through October when it will run concurrently with the Solidarity Street Gallery in the Payne-Phalen Neighborhood of St Paul, and a solo exhibition at TOA Presents at their new location in North Minneapolis. 'I created the collage through numerous layers thinking about elemental recurring forms in my larger work: triangles, circles, squares while working in imagery from 17th century painting: Portrait of Maria van Oosterwijck, 1671, by Wallerant Vaillant. This work has been a source of inspiration for many years. I was interested in creating a portal like space within the square format. A detail of Maria van Oosterwijck's hand and book (bible) is within the circle and outside of it. I was thinking about the way her hand is carefully placed near the corner of the page, a moment of stillness, in between an action, the touch of the paper, and to have this moment/detail within a cosmic and potentially hallucinatory space. I created the patterning through stenciling with lace fabric. I distressed the surface of the collage with sanding, scraping, and dry brushing to create an effect of erosion or decay, thinking about the passage of time, the cyclical nature of all things, and to bring forth and reassert the materiality of the work. Both the physical qualities of the work and the illusionistic imagery coalesce into one visual work that hopefully engages people passing by to stop and look at the work.' https://www.jessiefisherstudio.com/kim-benson TOA Presents is pleased to announce Dayspring, a new screenprint by Kim Benson, made in collaboration with Drew Peterson and published by Entity Editions <img width="2432" height="3000" width_o="2432" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2daeb2bc9507e64c36c70ae489587d1272fcdbd416be7656810121635b942d7c/Benson2026final-copy.jpg" data-mid="250641475" border="0" data-scale="47" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2daeb2bc9507e64c36c70ae489587d1272fcdbd416be7656810121635b942d7c/Benson2026final-copy.jpg" />Dayspring is the latest collaboration between Kim Benson and Drew Peterson, following the summer 2025 release of the Jubilant Space I-IV suite of screenprintsScreenprint and stenciled acrylic on Rives BFK Edition of 25 + APs Kim Benson: Jubilant Space I-IV on view at TOA Presents Summer 2025TOA Presents is pleased to feature Jubilant Space I-IV, a suite of new screenprints by Minneapolis-based artist Kim Benson, published by Entity Editions. Kim Benson and Drew Peterson began collaborating on Jubilant Space I-IV in 2022, shortly after COVID-19 precautions eased. Their partnership developed organically, rooted in mutual admiration and the convenience of working as neighboring studio artists. With no set outcome in mind beyond the experience of collaboration, they embraced an experimental process that prioritized variety over edition size. Benson’s use of stencils and digitally printed films used in her paintings translated naturally into screen printing, sparking Peterson’s interest in techniques that could heighten the tactile qualities of the medium. Jubilant Space I-IV is a testament to the collaborative process between printer and artist, revealing a shared visual language that emerged through gesture, texture and intuition—an exchange marked not by precision, but by play, responsiveness and a willingness to embrace the unexpected. Drew Peterson developed Entity Editions in 2018 as a fine art printmaking resource committed to the publication, production and education of print media through collaboration with emerging artists and educational workshops. Peterson has worked with numerous artists since launching Entity Editions, including Caroline Kent, Ruben Nusz, Frank Big Bear, Cameron Downey and Ta-Coumba Aiken, amongst others. Kim Benson: Unearthed at Jessica Silverman GalleryJune 7-July 20, 2024 Opening Reception: Friday, June 7, 5–7pm Jessica Silverman is pleased to announce Kim Benson’s “Unearthed,” the Minneapolis-based artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery and first solo presentation on the West Coast, from June 7 to July 20, 2024. The exhibition features 11 new oil paintings made over the past year that push Benson’s work to new scales. Mining the history of art through an excavation and reinterpretation of Renaissance paintings, Unearthed expands and abstracts the genres of landscape, still life, and portraiture. Within the exhibition, representational figures and objects are transfigured into abstraction. Using lace, fabric, metallic paint, stencils, and tape, Benson meticulously layers rich, impasto surfaces such that imagery emerges and dissolves. Lace is both ground and subject, a veil and mode for reveal through which Benson materially and conceptually erodes the facade of history.
